Peaches and Junior,
I have a lot of fond memories of your mother;especially when she would visit my mother, Bessie in Attalla. They would havve so much fun talking about the good ole days in Coosa County and just think, now they are together in Heaven. We loved our Mothers but God loved them best. Keep trusting in the Lord and know that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Your Cousin Denson McGee

To Peaches and Jr. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and the entire Payne family. I have known Mrs. Payne since I was a little girl and was a member of True Light Missionary Baptist Church. My entire family, from my grandparents, parents, aunts, cousins, we all were members there and we all considered each other to be one big family. Mrs. Payne was a wonderful and caring person, who never had anything negative to say about anyone. I want you to know that I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Peaches,Jr.& Family.
Aunt Cindy was a joy to be around.She would light up a room just by stepping in,Her smile her sense of humor her wisdom was all rare.Some even try to copy it but can't.She will be greatly missed.I don't usually try to speak for everyone but I think it is safe to say she was loved by all of her neices & nephews on the Goggans side.We had strong Mothers and they want us to be strong.
Love You,
